Who we are Mahboba’s Promise was founded by Mahboba Rawi, an Afghan refugee and now an Australian citizen, who has experienced first-hand the effects of a country torn apart by years of war and civil unrest. With Mahboba’s intimate knowledge of Afghanistan, Mahboba’s Promise was able to respond effectively and flexibly, to directly meet the needs of the country’s orphans and widows. Since then, Mahboba's Promise has worked relentlessly to provide a sustainable future within a secure environment for disadvantaged Afghan women and children. What we do Mahboba’s Promise enables the development of sustainable communities through being a visionary that empowers women and children to be self-sufficient leaders of tomorrow. We empower women and children to be given an opportunity by providing sustainable projects geared towards education, self-sufficiency, vocational training, health and more.
